Question Posted Friday July 8 2005, 9:14 am

I'm in a horrible situation. I just left my boyfriend of 10 months the other day. The day after I dumped him I hung out with this guy, Austin, and my friend, Tarra. I had hung out with Austin earlier in the week at his Fourth of July party and had a lot of fun. Well, on the day we hung out we all went to the movies and he put his arm around me. I know, it was WAY too soon to be doing that expesically since I just got out of a 10 month relationship, but something just felt right about it. -- When my boyfriend and I hit about 7-8 months, we started to have problems. He used to call all the time and text all the time. He used to call to say I love you, but now he rarely ever said it when we got off the phone. It felt like to me he just totally stopped caring. All my friends believed that how he was treating me wasn't right. I do believe I was at the early stages of depression when I was sating him because I'd cry with no reason, and I'd cry all the time. I felt worthless and my boyfriend never knew how I felt. He treated me like I was worthless, he stopped trying to explain his feelings and what was going on in his life to me, but then comes Austin. I met him whenever my boyfriend and I were still dating, so I stayed my distance. He cares. Austin makes me feel needed and he acts like he cares for me, and he lets me know that. [Austin] (9:05:03 PM): i cant stop thinking about you... honestly ive never felt this way before. and im here to help not run away
[Austin] (9:05:11 PM): some guys cant handle that but i atleast want to try.
That's what he said, and our whole coversations seem to be this way. Well, somebody told my boyfriend about the whole arm thing. Austin is anything but a rebound guy. I don't know how to explain it, but my ex boyfriend hates me for what I did. I undersatnd I hurt him, but he doesn't believe he changed at all throughout the relationship and I say if he can't see a simple thing like that then it was time for me to look elsewhere. I feel that it took somebody else to treat me right to understand that I was being treated wrong.

What are your feelings on this situation.

I think you did the right thing as you said if he can't see a simple thing like that then it was time for you to look elsewhere. That's how life is though full of problems but you have to think about what it is you want. I think what you did is good. He was dumped so it's time to move on. If he can't tell you what's going with himin a 10 month relationship, imagine what he would do if you got married. Probably abuse or something. I think you made the right choice by moving on.
Best wishes!

oh wow this sounds way to much like what happened to me!! austin...it seems like you werent really together for the last 2-3 months anyway so it not like you are moving on the day you guys were over. i think you should date austin... he obviously wants to treat you right and this guy is crazy about you. just dont do it too soon. if your ex is jealous...hes the one that let it slip away. hope this helps and leave me some if you need anything else! <3
